Tuesday, June 09, 2009 We woke up to continuing rain from Monday night and felt like sleeping in a bit so we did. Finally got up had some bagels sat around a bit and got restless. We decided to go on out, a little rain never hurt anyone. We went down the dead end creek for a look around and a little fishing, pretty cool area. Then we headed back in to have some lunch, fish sandwiches. After eating we went out and did some fishing catching a few nice fish and releasing them. While fishing we were headed toward the portage to Little Crab when we saw that the last sight on right before the portage was open. Wow, it really looked a lot nicer than ours. So we pulled up and looked around, decided to throw out a line from the bank and caught two nice bass. Immediately we decided we would move first thing in the A.M.
